Hey, I’m Steve.
Creative leader
slash girl Dad
slash marathon runner.
I’m an award-winning creative leader building brands people love. For over 20 years, I’ve shaped brand strategy, created famous ideas that connect to culture, and built elite teams that drive business growth with world-class creative.
Most recently, I was Senior Director and Executive Creative Director at Pinterest, where I led a 50+ person multidisciplinary creative organization across brand design, campaigns, content, and digital marketing. I helped re-shape the brand narrative, improved creative operations, and led our in-house team to become a globally recognized, award-winning in-house creative organization. Our work drove record-setting user growth and elevated Pinterest to become a leading Gen Z brand.
Over the course of my career, I’ve led famous campaigns, launched innovative technology products, scaled startups, and helped leading brands like Google, Nike, and Apple tell their stories. Along the way, I’ve built and managed creative teams on both the brand and agency side, producing award-winning work that works for the business.
My best work has always defined a brand’s purpose, connected meaningfully to culture, and shaped its role in people’s lives.
I feel fortunate to have worked with so many smart and talented teammates, collaborators, and clients along the way who believe in the power of great work.
Outside of work, I’m probably running around chasing my superhero daughter… Or possibly my next marathon PR.
